Training Log Archive: Spike

I ran at an easy pace on the trails on the south shore of Clinton. Fun. The weather was nice for running - cloudy, about 40F and some wind. I didn't see anyone else out there.

When I woke up this morning my legs felt tired. I guess it was the 45 minute bike ride yesterday. That's kind of discouraging, but a good reminder that I should try to get out on the bike a little more consistently. That'll be easier now that DST has started.

MTB around West Campus with a couple of trips up Ulrik's Hill.

Today was the last in-class session of the KU class. This was the first time I'd been largely on my own. Three of us lead the class and we have a teaching assistant. But one of the three was only here the first session and then left for a new job running the Washington State performance audit office. John missed class today because his mom died a couple of days ago. Cassandra (the teaching assistant) had traveled to/from Chicago to take care of her Mom (who was sick) twice. That's a lot of driving and it meant she was behind on her studying. She was a big help to have in class, but it was also my day to carry the load. Fortunately, we had some guest speakers come in and the students are really good. They are engaged and easy to work with. So it went pretty well. But it is also tiring.

I cut the MTB ride short so I could watch the KU basketball game.It was a good game, mostly exciting and KU won.

I checked my email in the middle of the afternoon and Cristina-bot reminded me that I better get training.

The weather was interesting today. Lawrence had wind gusts up to 51 mph. We had snow falling, but not sticking.

Nice jog around on trails and grass and pavement on West Campus.
